Overview


Designed with unique, inert polypropylene tubing, these tips flex along edges and around corners for painting and solvent bonding and easy dispensing in hard-to-reach areas. Special flexible tubing prevents scratching or puncturing and can be easily angled or cut to length. Ideal for wiping over a surface where you need to spread a fluid, the cannula also resists clogging to provide the most repeatable, accurate fluid deposits.

 

Unique SafetyLok™ hub threads ensure safe, secure attachment to syringe barrels. Each hub is also manufactured and quality-tested to be free of molding flash – bits of plastic that can block fluid flow and cause inconsistent deposits.

 

All Optimum dispensing tips are manufactured in the USA in silicone-free facilities to prevent fluid contamination and are certified for industrial use.

 

Tip hubs are color coded by size to help identify the gauge or internal diameter. Tips are also packaged in clear boxes for easy inventory control – with lot numbers, part numbers, and other information clearly labeled for greater process control and traceability.
